	PG	M	Significance
SOD (U/mgprot)	79.81 ± 7.27	85.29 ± 8.97	NS
CAT (U/mgprot)	6.06 ± 0.98b	3.80 ± 1.05a	***
GPx (U/mgprot)	3.08 ± 0.54b	1.87 ± 0.45a	***
T‐AOC (U/mgprot)	0.62 ± 0.19	0.55 ± 0.14	NS
RSA (%)	28.13 ± 3.04b	20.32 ± 3.04a	***
CUPRAC (mg/g)	2,950.51 ± 212.77b	2,738.36 ± 222.41a	*

Values are expressed as mean and standard deviation (n = 12).

Abbreviation(s): CUPRAC, cupric‐reducing antioxidant capacity; M, mixed diet; NS, nonsignificant; PG, pasture grass; RSA, radical‐scavenging ability; T‐AOC, total antioxidant capacity.
